EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled 'The White Hope' by The Tatler, captures a pivotal moment in English polo history at Gunnersbury Park in 1914. Lord Wimborne, a devoted supporter and benefactor of the English polo team, is seen here with Captain Frederick Barrett, the charismatic leader of the 1914 squad. The team had faced a series of disappointing defeats against the American polo teams in the previous Anglo-American contests for the Westchester Cup. However, this year, the English team, consisting of Captains Barrett, Cheape, Tomkinson, and Lockett, were determined to turn the tide. The image depicts the team in action during a practice game, their white uniforms standing out against the lush green grass of Leopold de Rothschild's estate. The horses, powerful and agile, mirror the riders' focus and determination. The atmosphere is one of intense concentration, as the players strategize and execute their moves. The significance of this victory was not just in the result, but in the way it boosted morale and rekindled the spirit of competition within the English polo community. The team's triumphant performance on the field marked a turning point in the history of English polo, providing a renewed sense of pride and determination that would carry on for years to come.
